Tracy Morgan was severely injured because
Walmart allowed one of its drivers to become so exhausted behind the wheel an
accident was destined to happen ... so claims Morgan in a new lawsuit.
The suit -- reported in the NY Post -- claims Tracy
sustained, "severe painful bodily injuries, including but not limited to
multiple fractures which required multiple surgeries, extensive medical
treatment and will require significant physical rehabilitation.”
According to the lawsuit ... Roper had driven 700
miles from his home to the Walmart distribution center before beginning his
fatal drive. One person died when Roper was tooling along in his
tractor-trailer at 65 in a 45 MPH zone and slammed into the SUV.
Roper pled not
guilty to charges of death by auto. Morgan was released from the
hospital last month, but he's still at a physical
rehabilitation center.
Tracy -- and 3 other plaintiffs -- are seeking
unspecified damages.
Walmart tells us, "As we’ve said, we’re
cooperating fully in the ongoing investigation. We know it will take some time
to resolve all of the remaining issues as a result of the accident, but we’re
committed to doing the right thing for all involved."
